A GROUP OF STUDENTS has pasted posters all over the London University and SOAS campuses urging their colleagues to have no truck with Google.
The poster, headed with "Break up with Google this Valentines", suggests students join an online campaign and find a new search partner.
Google has been criticised for censoring the Chinese version of its search engine.

A group called Students for a Free Tibet say in the poster that if people are "shocked about Google's new partnership with the Chinese government," they should join the campaign. They suggest students try http://clusty.com, http://gigablast.com, http://snap.com, http://exalead.com, http://mozdex.com or http://blinkxtv, for video content.
Their own campaign site is noluv4google.com.
